https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=384164 Summary: cdrdao package binaries link against libnsl without need Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Development AssignedTo: nadvornik@novell.com ReportedBy: cmorve69@yahoo.es QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- The configure.ac file says:

AC_CHECK_LIB(nsl,gethostbyname,[use_libnsl=yes]) AC_CHECK_LIB(nsl,inet_addr,[use_libnsl=yes]) AC_CHECK_LIB(nsl,inet_ntoa,[use_libnsl=yes])

dnl Add 'libnsl' if required if test "$use_libnsl" = yes; then LIBS="$LIBS -lnsl" fi

And up to my understanding the configure script wrongly supposes that libnsl provides these three functions because the test program also links against libc, who really provides them. Perhaps on other OSes these functions are really in libnsl, but in openSUSE we end with a unneeded dependency in five ELF binaries and the RPM package itself. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
